How did Larry Nassar, an Olympic gymnastics doctor, get away with abusing hundreds of women and girls for two decades? Believed is an inside look at how a team of women won a conviction in one of the largest serial sexual abuse cases in U.S. history. It's a story of survivors finding their power in a cultural moment when people are coming to understand how important that is.

Review
Great podcast.
My only problem is wanting Larry Nassar to be punished more than he is. I’m still so outraged.
Absolutely Captivating
Wanted to listen to one episode while doing housework. Spent the whole day bingeing it. Highly recommend.
